BC Craft Breweries

BC Craft Breweries

BC has over 150 craft breweries across the province as of mid-2017.   With those, we are pushing almost 1000 different locally crafted beers (Including seasonals).  Whether you are looking for a craft beer in Vancouver or looking to do a road trip across the province to expand your horizons we have you covered with the BC craft brewery listing.

Vancouver Craft Breweries 

Vancouver's craft brewery district is split almost down the middle into two distinctly different regions, both only 5 minutes from their own sides of downtown Vancouver.

East Vancouver Breweries

Just a stones throw from downtown Vancouver and gas town you'll want to spend a full weekend from Friday to Monday just to see them all.  While here you also have a couple distilleries, cider houses & wineries that are worth the stop.

Brewery Creek Breweries | Olympic Village Breweries

Based in the area that had just as many breweries before prohibition this area is know for amazing water for brewing.  You can start from one of two sky train stations, or start at one and end at the other.  Cambie is on one side and Science World is on the other.

North Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler Breweries | Sea to Sky Breweries

We have seen this cooridor expand rapidly in both breweries and tourism since 2014.  The amount of breweries has more than coubled!  Want to try all three regions in one day?  Join our Sea to Sky Brewery Tour.

North Vancouver Breweries

Just across the water from East Vancouver there amazing hiking, mountain biking and great beer.  Ride your bike, take a taxi, tour with us or take a bus.  Just get there and do your best to see a few.

Squamish Craft Breweries

Hanging out a few feet from the world famous cheif mountain face and the Sea to Sky gondola there is a few breweries that are worth the trip.  Weather your live in Squamish or traveling through, just stop for a beer (Unless your driving).

Whistler Breweries

Both summer and winter are great seasons to head to function junction to go see both Coast Mountain and Whistler Brewing Co.  Want to see all three?  It's beer tour time at 4pm when the hill closes up.

Fraser Valley Breweries

Each city is doing it differently and has their own vibe and types of beers that the locals here consume regularly.  For simplicity sake we have split this into a few regions.  Port Moody needs no introduction.  

Port Moody Breweries

Home to the highest breweries in one area.  We have four here worth the visit all on one block.  You can even walk to them from the port moody sky train station.  Worth the walking tour!

Richmond Burnaby Delta New West

Home of some suburb favourites.  If you'ree from here, these need no introduction and all are worth at least an introductory visit.

Langley Breweries 

Stroll a little farther from Vancouver and you'll find some real gems! Langley and the Fraser Valley are quickly becoming a hot spot for beer tourism!
